Dear Friends, please ask questions about these passages from the great Kabbalists. The commentaries in brackets are mine.

And after all these days, I listened attentively to all the promises and destinies I have been chosen for by the Creator. Yet, I found in them neither satisfaction nor the words by which to speak to mankind and to lead them to the Creator’s revelation, as He had told me to.

I could not stride among the people, who are vain and slandering the Creator and His creation, while I was satiated and praising, merrily walking, as though mocking those wretched ones…. I resolved that come what may, even if I descend from my sublime degree, I must make a heartfelt plea to the Creator, to grant me attainment and knowledge of the prophecy and wisdom, and the words by which to help the forlorn people of the world, to raise them to the same degree of wisdom and pleasantness as mine.
– Baal HaSulam, “The Prophecy of Baal HaSulam”[53291]
